My communication style is open, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

The clinical care I provide is offered in a warm, kind, accepting, and positive atmosphere. I focus and build on insights, attributes, and strengths clients already have in order to problem-solve and recover from mental health conditions and life stressors.

I believe in meeting each client where they are. There is not one way to help someone resolve a problem in their life. I believe in helping my clients find the right path that works for them and following along beside them to provide wisdom in their lives to take the next steps and make better choices. A mental health professional should go above and beyond for their clients and I believe in this whole heartedly. My motto is "get me in your life and out of your life quickly so that you can live happy!"

Life is often full of challenges and therapy can be a welcomed support in coping with difficulties, building resilience, and creating happiness. I believe that individuals are best served by an integrative, strength-based approach. My office is a safe and confidential space to get to know yourself better, explore your needs, and develop strategies to support healing and growth.

Sometimes life can get overwhelming, and we need a little help navigating the journey we are on. As a military spouse, I can empathize with just how chaotic and challenging life can be at times.

I enjoy helping others navigate their story by coming alongside them to encourage their strengths and share new skills through a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach. I am always honored to walk with others on that journey for however long we work together, collaborating to find the skills, techniques, and solutions that work best for you, both in and outside of session.

Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school?

Are you feeling overwhelmed to the point that is effecting your focus or ability to sleep at night? Do you find your self feeling sad or not feeling anything at all and you can't see to enjoy even your favorite activities and interests? I am a licensed professional counselor who has been helping people experience breakthough in their minds and emotions for over 6 years. I have a fiery passion for helping people gain insight into their patterns of behavior, including linking their past to their present. I have a compassionate, client-led approach to therapy, tailoring the work that I do to each individual client. I start by completing a comprehensive intake assessment where I screen each person who comes to see me for various mental health conditions. I always provide information along the way and share with clients what I observe and any diagnoses that I assess them with. Then I work with the person to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to identify the goals and objectives of therapy within the first month of counseling. Within the working process, I combine compassionate, empathetic listening with teaching practice skills to provide an avenue for making change possible.

We all encounter times in life when shadows loom large. In those moments, we need someone to walk beside us and help us see the light that is always there. I’ve lived through a variety of challenging experiences, and I know how much that support means. I decided at the age of 12 to be a counselor, and I never wavered from that path, no matter how the shadows fell. I’m passionate about helping others find the light within and see it around them as they move through and overcome their shadows. Working with children and teenagers is especially close to my heart. I use many tools in therapy, which allows me to customize treatment for the person in front of me. If you’re struggling to find the light and need someone to walk beside you, please reach out. We weren’t made to walk this path alone.
